    He wasn't as fat but he was still fat, you can't deny that! He looked poor as well.

    I am actually good with it if true. He will retire undefeated with with wins over Klitschko, WilderX2, ChisoraX2, Cuningham, Wallin, and Whyte, and in context, Johnson and Hammer were also good wins, with Pianeta being another name. That is a damn good record. Guys like Liston, Dempsey, Patterson, and Bowe are tossed about as greats with comparable wins, and each of those have losses. He's done enough.

    Yeah, we all wish here could have been more, and the two Haye pull-outs particularly stick in me, as that, in context, would have been a fine addition to the resume. But really, who would he add? Disgraced Ruiz? Shattered Joshua? He has said that he won't fight Parker, and who knows when and if Usyk will be available.

    Let him hang 'em up on top.

    I'm just annoyed the big stiff idiot AJ keeps getting battered. Fury would have decimated him, it should have been his feather to take but looks like Usyk will finish him off.

    The dream is somehow AJ can beat Usyk on a punchers chance meaning Fury has an easy retirement fight in AJ to get some big bucks and retire in great fashion with a home crowd.

    The thing with Fury is the money has well and truly ran out now...there are no more money fights for him...unless AJ can win this rematch. Or Saudi money Usyk bout, which I can't imagine oddly.

    For my part, I don't believe AJ has a puncher's chance...when has Usyk so much as been knocked down?

    I picked Usyk the first time, and I am picking him or an easier win. I thought Usyk would just go super-sayan and throw a thousand punches like he did against Gassiev, but he didn't even turn it up to that level. He has levels against Joshua that he has not even tapped.

    Fat Andy should forget boxing and get into competitive eating. It’s his true passion and I like his chances. He lacks the discipline to continue boxing. He’d balloon up to 400 but would be happy as a clam. I bet he could eat clams into extinction and wouod pay to see it.

    I gave the son of a ***** the benefit of the doubt that he would learn and rededicate himself, and subsequently to his loss, he has has one fight and almost got beat against Arreola. Speaks for itself.

    I'd prefer Wilder.

    They could still probably make a lot of money from the residual hype on that one.

    You don't have to be 2-1 against an opponent who beat you. If you win the rematch strongly that is good enough. Joshua dominated Ruiz in rematch, and Ruiz has done nothing to earn it.

    Ruiz should fight someone of value and if he beats someone like Joyce, Parker or **** even Ortiz, then we can consider it.

    Not ***** tits Arreola.

    He's still having nightmares about getting washed by that usless fat taco truck owner. He knows a prepared Ruiz would absolutely demolish him and he would never take that fight
